Jamie Horowitz is one of the candidates being considered for the morning show’s senior position

ESPN’s “First Take” producer Jamie Horowitz is one of the candidates vying for the vacant role of senior vice president for NBC’s “Today.”

Horowitz hasn’t been hired, but he’s definitely one of the candidates being considered for the executive role at the morning show, individuals with knowledge of the situation told TheWrap.

NBC News is actively searching for a replacement for former “Today” show SVP Alexandra Wallace, who just a couple weeks ago was elevated to the newly created position of senior vice president of news for the network in charge of the D.C. Bureau.

Deadspin first reported that Horowitz is up for Wallace’s former position, which oversees “Today” at the executive level and has no production role on the show. “Today” executive producer Don Nash would report to whomever is hired into the position. But, the site reports that Horowitz is still under contract with ESPN.

Representatives for NBC News and ESPN declined to comment on Horowitz’s candidacy for the “Today” show executive role.
